2016 Play Descriptions
The Importance of Being Earnest
By Oscar Wilde
June 9 – June 25, 2016
Jack and Algernon are wealthy London bachelors who each live a double life, creating
elaborate deceptions in order to have some balance in their life. John falls in love with
Algernon's cousin Gwendolen, and, after discovering John's secret, Algernon falls for
John's ward Cecily. The two gentlemen and ladies are in for more than they ever
anticipated when the formidable Lady Bracknell, Gwendolen's mother, begins digging
around to uncover the truth. Full of wit and charm, Oscar Wilde's comedic masterpiece
is a "trivial comedy for serious people."
Wilde's Victorian comedy of manners is widely considered to be one of the greatest plays ever written. We believe it
will work very well outdoors and it has not been staged at the community theatre level in this area for several years.
It has Great title recognition.
The Secret Garden
Adapted by Pamela Stirling
Based on the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett
July 21 – August 6, 2016
This beloved story about the growth and blossoming of the earth and the human spirit is a
garden of delight for the imagination. Mary and Colin, whose natures have been badly
warped, thrive with the discovery that selflessness opens a secret door to happiness. They
are encouraged by the warmhearted Yorkshire maid, Martha, and her brother, Dickon,
who understands the language of birds, animals and flowers; the crusty gardener, Ben
Weatherstaff; and, of course, the robin who leads Mary to the garden that changes her
life.
The Secret Garden is an extremely well-known book. We believe this to be a fine choice for the outdoors that can be
marketed to the entire family. The play has a great message and theme of the need for human companionship. This
adaptation is a play, and not a musical version.
The Odd Couple
By Neil Simon
August 25 – September 10, 2016
Neil Simon's classic comedy opens with a group of the guys assembled for cards in the
apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder
that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger who has just been separated from his
wife. Fastidious, depressed and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action
unfolds Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the
slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as THE ODD COUPLE is
born.
This is one of the best plays by the 20th century's most successful playwright. We will be staging the original male
version of the show, which hasn't been performed in this area for awhile (the female version of the play has). We
cannot ask for better title recognition.
